Author's Notes: I've been debating whether or not to make chapters based on the post game stories of the Star Force games or not. And frankly, I haven't come to a conclusion. If I make them, they'll be labeled differently from the chapters based on main game stories, to make it clear when they begin, but if I don't, then this fanfic will be finished sooner. Since I couldn't decide, I'm hoping to get your guy's opinion on this. I don't think this counts as interactive, since all this is is whether I make them or not, the story itself already exists. Oh, and also, I know I made Luna a bit more excitable during the tour, but I think having the added stress of being Mega Girl on top of being class president would make her more accepting of a situation where she could just enjoy herself. Plus, meeting Omega-Xis would probably make her more curious about what else could be out there.
Edit: I made a decision. It's in the Author's Notes of a later chapter.
Star Force Ark, Chapter 10: A New Enemy
As the group approached the SpaceSim entrance, Aaron quickly waved at the attendant behind a desk before stopping to turn toward the group. "This is where you sign up for the SpaceSim.", Aaron said, "It's important that you get a space suit before entering, 'cause there's no oxygen inside. And don't forget to put them on properly." Aaron then walked up to the attendant and began talking with him. "No oxygen?", Bud asked, "What does that mean?" "Oxygen is the air that we breath.", Zack said, "Without it, we'd suffocate to death. That's why the space suits are so important." "Alright, guys.", Aaron said, now holding a space suit of his own, "Just talk to the attendant here, and he'll get you some space suits . And don't forget to put them on. There's a changing room just past the entryway." Aaron then walked inside the building.
For the next few minutes, everyone in the group was looking at the model planets or trying out what they could do in zero gravity. Luna and Geo were the most excited, but when Geo realized it, he found it odd that Luna was getting so excited over something she previously showed no interest in. After a short time, everyone in the SpaceSim was called toward the center. "Welcome to the SpaceSim, everyone!", a woman said before noticing Aaron, "Oh, Mr. Boreal! Will you be joining us?" "Yes, I'm with a few of the kids today.", Aaron said, "Don't mind me. Please, continue as normal." "Alright. As I was saying...", the woman began, "Hello, everyone! I am your tour guide for today. What do you think of our SpaceSim? Almost like the real thing, don't you think? But the fun has just begun." The woman showed everyone the various sites around the simulator room, from model planets to shooting stars, before bringing the group back to the center. "Next, I want to show everyone this...", the woman began.
"The Swan's Dance.", a familiar voice said. "Swan's... dance? Who said that?!", the woman asked, looking around to find where the voice. "Over here.", the voice said. The woman turned around to see Tom standing on the Anti-Gravity generator, except he wasn't wearing a space suit. "M-Mr. Dubius?", The woman asked. "H-How are you in here without a suit on?!", Aaron asked. "I don't need a space suit.", Tom said, "I have been reborn." In a flash of light, Tom's appearance changed drastically, now appearing to have a blue and black swan-styled bodysuit. Except it wasn't a bodysuit, it was his own body. Additionally, his head and upper chest were now white, with a swan beak coming out of his forehead, and his face was teal blue, and he now had white wings coming out of his back. This sudden transformation scared most of the people in the room.
"That's...", Luna said, realizing what had happened. "T-Tom, what's wrong?!", Aaron asked. "What's wrong?", Tom asked, "Hmph, you seem to be fine... for someone who just betrayed someone else! I have come to punish you, Aaron. Behold!" "Oh no!", Omega-Xis said, "Luna, turn away from him now!" "Huh?", Luna asked. "Just do it! Hurry!", Omega-Xis said. "A-Alright!", Luna replied before turning away. At the same time, Tom began spinning around, almost like a ballerina. "What is that?", Aaron asked. "Maybe it's the Swan's Dance he mentioned?", Geo asked, before realizing something, "Wh-what the?!"
All of a sudden, everyone in the room except for Luna began doing the same thing, as if they were being controlled. "Now I have you.", Tom said. "That's right.", another voice said, "Dance until you drop!" Everyone in the room, except for Aaron and Luna, began to separate into different areas of the simulator room. "Wh-What is the meaning of this, Tom?!", Aaron asked, "Why are you doing this?!" "You should know why.", Tom said, "Betrayal is the essence of society. Even now. Soon, the oxygen in your suits will run out. Until then, enjoy floating in this space... dancing your time away. Compared to my suffering, this will be nothing."
"Betrayal? Suffering?", Aaron asked, "What are you talking about?! Please tell me!" "You...", Tom began, "You pretend to be concerned, but you'll just betray me again. I'm not buying it anymore! Tom then disappeared in a flash of light, but the anti-gravity generator screens began displaying his new face. "I hope you all enjoy yourselves with this.", Tom said, "This is the dance of your demise." "Wh-What is going on?!", Luna asked. "He's been taken over by Cygnus.", Omega-Xis said, "He's an FM-ian shaped like a swan. You watch his dance, and you'll be dancing too. The only way to stop the dancing is to beat him." "I understand.", Luna said before sliding the Visualizer over her eyes and looking around, "There aren't any waveholes here. I'll have to get outside." Luna made her way to the tour guide and quickly grabbed a key card from her pocket before moving over to the Earth model, where she used it to open the door, allowing her to leave.
